Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche
via Cornarotta 7 – Treviso

Is the purpose of geography to make war? This is the question posed by the exhibition at Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche, curated by Massimo Rossi, held in the spazi Bomben of Treviso. The exhibition avails of the partnership of Fabrica, who curated the set-up and graphic design, and of the collaboration and patronage of the Regional government of Veneto – Council Department of Culture.

Through three closely linked layouts that remain in constant dialogue (Rocks and water, Human signs and War maps), maps, atlases and works of art speak of the great communicative and persuasive force of geographic maps.

The set-up created by Fabrica is an experiential journey, on the discovery of the various geographical maps and the places that inspired them, through the creation of areas that urge visitors to follow them and interact with them. Elements with a linear and clean design, minimalist to focus solely on the works on display, combined with a graphic design that reinterprets the elements of traditional cartography in a modern style.
The entire design of the exhibition – set-up and communication – is combined with the spaces of Palazzo Bomben, rich in frescoes and history, in a dialogue of mutual accentuation.

Thirty artists belonging to Fabrica’s international network have donated their creativity to express the culture, traditions, colors, nature and vibrant beauty of the country. The result is a unique collection of 30 artworks – photos, illustrations, collage, paintings, silkscreens – that will be sold during an auction organized by Unicef and Diners Club Ecuador.

Auction — October 15th at the Sucre National Theatre in Quito, Ecuador.

Using the humble dot as a simultaneous metaphor of an individual within a greater community, as well as locations on a map, Fabrica designs a system that becomes a way to connect, draw or write — a way to communicate, no matter your language, age, or origin. This allows evolution, and adapts to different needs and expressions, from children to shopkeepers to passers-by.

are tilted and turned to obtain a clear, pure wine.
This celebration pays homage, above all, to the passion, intelligence and determination of its inventor Madame Clicquot.
With BEYOND — The Veuve Clicquot Journey by Fabrica, visitors were drawn into an exploration
of real and imaginary landscapes, in an exclusive setting that epitomises the concept of the journey: The Royal Pavilion of Milan
Central Station.
From the depths of the abyss to the majesty of a starlit universe , by way of the stunning chalk
caves of the Champagne region, BEYOND used experiences, performances and sounds to tell
the fascinating tale of Veuve Clicquot.

Fabrica designed the Tribute to Domus graphic art and the displays in the United Colors of Benetton flagship store’s ten windows on Piazza del Duomo, an exhibition looking out onto the city in a narrative of colour, design and experimentation. The objects donated by participating companies – Agape, Alessi, Arper, Artemide, B&B, Danese, Fabrica, Fiam, Fontana Arte, Fratelli Guzzini, Kartell, Marazzi, Rimadesio, Smeg, Tubes, Unifor – will be on show for the duration of Design Week together with Benetton’s spring/summer collection. The choice of celebrating Domus’s thousandth issue with the Pantone colours of the year has a natural affinity with the iconic importance of colour for the United Colors of Benetton brand.
